wis rs pretty any, though it did not
excite the curiosity that WAS shown
toward the apron booth. The articles
in this booth were useful ones and the
ladies enjoyed good sale. The lem
onade stand, presided over by Miss
Jergpnsel.. found many patrons and
considering the cool evenings, the sale
of that delicious liquid was surprising.
So we'll patronzcd was the candy booth
attended by Mrs. N. Il. Peterson,

attested by the large and generous
crowds that have greeted the ladies on
both evenings, and by the willing aid
that the talent of our city extended by
rendering their choicest selections
/ both vocal and instrumental. Taking
all in all the ladies are to be congratu-

much of II social treat to the visitors
as it is II profitable entertainment to
them. The ladies of the church have
been SO literally patronized in the
fair as to be encouraged to continue
/ it another dav and night, and have
made arrangements to give fine
dinner this afternoon to which all
are cordially invited to come aud
thus aid the ladies in their important
undertaking. AS this evening is the
last one of the fair it bchooves all
to bid the ladies ns warm farewell
as they have thus fhr extended en-
couragcment, and, in order to do
this, the building should be jammed,
and it will be safe to predict that

$lO2, 1874, 7o2 against s93 1856 $50 the year
before, with the exception of the fiscal
year ending June 30th. 1882. the custom
receipts are more than for any year in
the history Of the country. Last years
receipts are much larger than were an
